Advance preparation is important for the fastest reservation for iPhone18 Pro
Reservations for iPhone18 Pro/iPhone18 Pro Max will begin at 9pm on Saturday, September 12th.
Orders will be concentrated immediately after reservations for the new iPhone begin, so it is important to determine the information necessary for ordering in advance to reduce the number of operations required after reservations begin.
In order to complete your reservation as quickly as possible, please confirm the information necessary for your reservation, such as the model and color you wish to purchase, storage capacity, and payment method, before accepting reservations.
If it takes time to enter and select this information after the reservation process has started, the estimated delivery date may be postponed.
In fact, I once went to make a reservation for a new iPhone with the intention of being fully prepared, but as a result of having a little trouble with the operations when making the reservation, I was disappointed because the delivery was delayed.
Preparation checklist for iPhone 18 Pro before reservation
In order to complete your order as soon as iPhone18 Pro/iPhone18 Pro Max reservations start, please decide on the following in advance.
- Selection between iPhone18 Pro and iPhone18 Pro Max
- color
- storage capacity
- Will you use a trade-in? (If you do, prepare information on the trade-in device as well.)
- SIM free or carrier contract included?
- Payment methods such as lump sum payment, credit card, payday etc.
If you sign in to the Apple Store online, select the model, color, capacity, payment method, etc. you want to purchase, and complete the “Pre-order Preparation” process, you can proceed smoothly with the process once pre-orders begin.
You can complete preparations for installment payments before starting the reservation.
With the “Payday deferred payment plan Apple exclusive”, you can complete the preparations for installment payment before starting the reservation.
For people who want to purchase the latest expensive iPhone in installments, it is a big advantage to be able to decide on the payment method before starting the reservation.
iPhone18 Pro/iPhone18 Pro Max can be paid in 36 installments, and the split fee is 0% if you use account transfer or bank transfer. You can also choose to pay at a convenience store, but a payment fee will be charged.
Please check the conditions before using Payday.
The following items are required to use the “Payday deferred payment plan Apple exclusive”.
- Be over 18 years old
- Mobile phone number issued in Japan
- email address
- Driver’s license or My Number Card for Japanese nationals, Residence Card or Special Permanent Resident Certificate for foreign nationals

You can also use carrier discounts at the Apple online store.
If you purchase an iPhone 18 Pro (256GB) using the “Pay Later Payment Plan Apple Exclusive”, the price starts from 6,105 yen per month, SIM-free and without trade-in.
If you purchase from the Apple online store using the “Payday deferred payment plan Apple exclusive”, you can take advantage of carrier discounts from NTT Docomo and Softbank.
Both carriers offer discounts of 8,800 yen for changing models or new contracts, and 20,000 yen for transferring (MNP).

Checklist when using Payday installments
The following steps are required to reserve an iPhone 18 Pro or iPhone 18 Pro Max using the “Payday deferred payment plan Apple exclusive”.
- Install the “Paydi” app
- Apply for the “Payday deferred payment plan Apple exclusive” from the “Payday” app (identity verification/screening)
- Select iPhone 18 Pro on Apple official website
- Select model, color, storage capacity, and trade-in availability
- Select “Payday deferred payment plan Apple only” as the payment method
Please note that Paydi states that the screening process can be completed in as little as 60 seconds, but it is best to complete it in plenty of time and not right before reservations start.
Even if you do not use Payday, it is effective to decide in advance the model, color, storage capacity, whether trade-in is required, etc. to be reserved, in order to shorten the operation time after starting the reservation.
Replacement option available from 24th month onwards
With the Payday Pay Later Plan Apple Exclusive, you can use the Replacement Option, which eliminates the need to pay the remaining balance if you purchase a new iPhone in 36 installments and meet certain conditions after the 24th month.
If you meet the conditions for the replacement option, you will no longer need to pay the remaining balance of the 36 installments. If you use it after the 24th payment, the remaining amount will be approximately equivalent to 12 payments.
Please note that balance payment forgiveness is subject to conditions such as the completion of the 24th or 25th installment, the Paidy account being in good standing, and the physical and functional condition of the trade-in device. Please check the Payday website for detailed terms and conditions.
